Micah 1:2-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
2
Hear, you peoples, all of you;
Listen carefully, earth and all it contains,
And may the Lord
God
be a witness against you,
The Lord from His holy temple.
3
For behold, the
Lord
is coming forth from His place.
He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
4
The mountains will melt under Him
And the valleys will be split,
Like wax before the fire,
Like water poured down a steep place.
5
All this is due to the wrongdoing of Jacob
And the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the wrongdoing of Jacob?
Is it not Samaria?
What is the high place of Judah?
Is it not Jerusalem?
6
For I will make Samaria a heap of ruins in the open country,
Planting places for a vineyard.
I will hurl her stones down into the valley,
And lay bare her foundations.
7
All of her idols will be crushed,
All of her earnings will be burned with fire,
And all of her images I will make desolate;
For she collected
them
from a prostitute’s earnings,
And to the earnings of a prostitute they will return.
8
Because of this I must mourn and wail,
I must go barefoot and naked;
I must do mourning like the jackals,
And a mourning like the ostriches.
9
For her wound is incurable,
For it has come to Judah;
It has reached the gate of my people,
Even
to Jerusalem.
King James Version
Chapter 1
2
Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord
God
be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
3
For, behold, the
Lord
cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
4
And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.
5
For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
6
Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.
7
And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
8
Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
9
For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
2
Listen, all you peoples;
pay attention, earth and everyone in it!
The Lord
God
will be a witness against you,
the Lord, from his holy temple.
3
Look, the
Lord
is leaving his place
and coming down to trample
the heights of the earth.
4
The mountains will melt beneath him,
and the valleys will split apart,
like wax near a fire,
like water cascading down a mountainside.
5
All this will happen because of Jacob’s rebellion
and the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the rebellion of Jacob?
Isn’t it Samaria?
And what is the high place of Judah?
Isn’t it Jerusalem?
6
Therefore, I will make Samaria
a heap of ruins in the countryside,
a planting area for a vineyard.
I will roll her stones into the valley
and expose her foundations.
7
All her carved images will be smashed to pieces;
all her wages will be burned in the fire,
and I will destroy all her idols.
Since she collected the wages of a prostitute,
they will be used again for a prostitute.
8
Because of this I will lament and wail;
I will walk barefoot and naked.
I will howl like the jackals
and mourn like ostriches.
9
For her wound is incurable
and has reached even Judah;
it has approached my people’s city gate,
as far as Jerusalem.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
2
Attention! Let all the people of the world listen!
Let the earth and everything in it hear.
The Sovereign
Lord
is making accusations against you;
the Lord speaks from his holy Temple.
3
Look! The
Lord
is coming!
He leaves his throne in heaven
and tramples the heights of the earth.
4
The mountains melt beneath his feet
and flow into the valleys
like wax in a fire,
like water pouring down a hill.
5
And why is this happening?
Because of the rebellion of Israel —
yes, the sins of the whole nation.
Who is to blame for Israel’s rebellion?
Samaria, its capital city!
Where is the center of idolatry in Judah?
In Jerusalem, its capital!
6
'So I, the
Lord
, will make the city of Samaria
a heap of ruins.
Her streets will be plowed up
for planting vineyards.
I will roll the stones of her walls into the valley below,
exposing her foundations.
7
All her carved images will be smashed.
All her sacred treasures will be burned.
These things were bought with the money
earned by her prostitution,
and they will now be carried away
to pay prostitutes elsewhere.'
8
Therefore, I will mourn and lament.
I will walk around barefoot and naked.
I will howl like a jackal
and moan like an owl.
9
For my people’s wound
is too deep to heal.
It has reached into Judah,
even to the gates of Jerusalem.
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
2
Hear, you peoples, all of you;
pay attention, O earth, and all that is in it,
and let the Lord
God
be a witness against you,
the Lord from his holy temple.
3
For behold, the
Lord
is coming out of his place,
and will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth.
4
And the mountains will melt under him,
and the valleys will split open,
like wax before the fire,
like waters poured down a steep place.
5
All this is for the transgression of Jacob
and for the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the transgression of Jacob?
Is it not Samaria?
And what is the high place of Judah?
Is it not Jerusalem?
6
Therefore I will make Samaria a heap in the open country,
a place for planting vineyards,
and I will pour down her stones into the valley
and uncover her foundations.
7
All her carved images shall be beaten to pieces,
all her wages shall be burned with fire,
and all her idols I will lay waste,
for from the fee of a prostitute she gathered them,
and to the fee of a prostitute they shall return.
8
For this I will lament and wail;
I will go stripped and naked;
I will make lamentation like the jackals,
and mourning like the ostriches.
9
For her wound is incurable,
and it has come to Judah;
it has reached to the gate of my people,
to Jerusalem.
New International Version
Chapter 1
2
Hear, you peoples, all of you,
listen, earth and all who live in it,
that the Sovereign
Lord
may bear witness against you,
the Lord from his holy temple.
3
Look! The
Lord
is coming from his dwelling place;
he comes down and treads on the heights of the earth.
4
The mountains melt beneath him
and the valleys split apart,
like wax before the fire,
like water rushing down a slope.
5
All this is because of Jacob’s transgression,
because of the sins of the people of Israel.
What is Jacob’s transgression?
Is it not Samaria?
What is Judah’s high place?
Is it not Jerusalem?
6
"Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble,
a place for planting vineyards.
I will pour her stones into the valley
and lay bare her foundations.
7
All her idols will be broken to pieces;
all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;
I will destroy all her images.
Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,
as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used."
8
Because of this I will weep and wail;
I will go about barefoot and naked.
I will howl like a jackal
and moan like an owl.
9
For Samaria’s plague is incurable;
it has spread to Judah.
It has reached the very gate of my people,
even to Jerusalem itself.
New King James Version
Chapter 1
2
Hear, all you peoples!
Listen, O earth, and all that is in it!
Let the Lord
God
be a witness against you,
The Lord from His holy temple.
3
For behold, the
Lord
is coming out of His place;
He will come down
And tread on the high places of the earth.
4
The mountains will melt under Him,
And the valleys will split
Like wax before the fire,
Like waters poured down a steep place.
5
All this is for the transgression of Jacob
And for the sins of the house of Israel.
What
is
the transgression of Jacob?
Is it
not Samaria?
And what
are
the high places of Judah?
Are they
not Jerusalem?
6
“Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of ruins in the field,
Places for planting a vineyard;
I will pour down her stones into the valley,
And I will uncover her foundations.
7
All her carved images shall be beaten to pieces,
And all her pay as a harlot shall be burned with the fire;
All her idols I will lay desolate,
For she gathered
it
from the pay of a harlot,
And they shall return to the pay of a harlot.”
8
Therefore I will wail and howl,
I will go stripped and naked;
I will make a wailing like the jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches,
9
For her wounds
are
incurable.
For it has come to Judah;
It has come to the gate of My people—
To Jerusalem.
